LONDON, April 24 (Reuters) - Standard Chartered said it was "listening very carefully" to shareholders on whether the Asia-focused bank should consider moving its headquarters out of Britain following the recent rise in UK bank tax.

Rival HSBC said on Friday it has started a review of whether to move domicile out of Britain, and Reuters has previously reported investors want both HSBC and Standard Chartered management to consider a move.
